Wabasha County Sheriff Rodney Bartsh attended the Aug. 13 Goodhue County Board meeting and discussed the success of the fraud prevention program that is shared by Wabasha, Winona, Goodhue, Houston and Fillmore Counties.
He explained that investigator Mike LaVigne, a Wabasha County deputy, has exceeded state standards for the work he has done solving welfare fraud cases. At any given time, he has 25 to 60 cases that he is working on. The end result has been a regional cost savings of $212,577.
